'Unstoppable' 'Superb': Middlesbrough fans praise key men and Neil Warnock after Bristol City win

Midfielder George Saville scored the only goal of the match in the 73rd minute and received credit for his relentless work rate and all-round display.

In fact, there were several standout performers for Neil Warnock’s team, who also kept their second consecutive clean sheet in the Championship.

Here are some of the responses from social media:

@Smithy_MFC84: Credit must go to Warnock for what was an absolute masterclass in not only nullifying City, but also finding a way to get the three points. This was a side that has scored freely, sat top of the league unbeaten and we made them look ordinary.

@craigylilo: Fry won absolutely everything shot at him tonight. He was also really calm on the ball too. I love the new Dael Fry!

@BonkersforBoro: Patrick Roberts showed his class but the midfield trio of Morsy/Sav/Howson is looking unstoppable.

@ClarkRDanny: You can’t knock that result at all, beat a team who've started the season unbeaten, we're unbeaten in 5 ourselves and only lost narrowly to a team that got relegated from the Premier League last season. I'd have taken that start to the season all day long!

@CharltonJonny: Morsy is turning out to be a great signing

@JeffersMFC: Quality Result, on the back of a superbly organised team performance. Top draw to a man. Well done Boys

@Tom_Hockman: 4 points from the 2 games against the top 2 and haven’t lost since the opening game of the season the Warlock is working his magic

@ConnorDuffield: Unreal team performance from start to finish. Promising signs.

@SuperMc123: Massive win for @Boro. Back 3 were spot on today. Fry man of the match. We go again at Cardiff.

@JonnyBullock1: Don’t know what it is about Neil Warnock sides but they just grind out results time and time again.

@muscatboro: GET IN!!! Well done Boro. Believe we've been playing well as of late. Were just lacking in the final 3rd as a team. Absolutely delighted to see us go to top of league team and get 3 points
